However, when a DVR adds to a new hard disk, it will identify the hard disk as a new one and inquire whether to format no matter whether this hard disk used or not in another same type DVR before. In this condition, it can be used normally after formatted according to the guide; if two or more hard disks used in different DVRs, when used in another DVR with the same type, they will be identified to be two or more new hard disks, and all of them need to format.

Appendix B Calculate Recording Capacity

Users can calculate the size of hard disk according to the saving time and DVR recording settings. The DVR uses fixed video bit rate. The below are the details at different settings. Frame Rate Video Quality Bit Rate (kbps) Used Space(MB/h) Video Format Resolution Totally(FPS) Highest 1M 465 Higher 768k 297 Medium 512k 230 NTSC CIF 30 Low 384k 173 Lower 256k 115 Lowest 128k 56 Highest 1M 466 Higher 768k 295 Medium 512k 235 PAL CIF 25 Low 384k 175 Lower 256k 56.4 Lowest 128k 45 The calculation format is: Total Recording capacity =Used space per hour (MB/h) (coverage rate of hard disk) recording time (hour) channel numbers For instance, one customer uses PAL cameras, set resolution to CIF, video quality to Lower, frame rate to 25 fps for enabling total 4channel. He wants the unit to record continuously in a month. Below is the calculation: Total Recoding capacity =56.4 (mb/h) X 24(hours/day) X30(days) X4(channels) 162432(MB)160(GB) Therefore, customers just install one SATA HDDs with 160GB, it can almost record for one month. 112
